Faltan para la beatificación

La causa

Dos estados alcanzados, y un tercero en el calendario

La causa se abrió en Peoria en 2002. Benedicto XVI lo declaró Venerable en 2012. La beatificación se fijó para el 21 de diciembre de 2019 y se suspendió días antes a petición de la Diócesis de Rochester, que él había dirigido; León XIV la autorizó de nuevo en febrero de 2026.

  1. Servant of God2002

    The Diocese of Peoria, where he was ordained, opened his cause. From then he could be called Servant of God, and the testimony about his life was gathered under its bishop.

  2. Venerable28 June 2012

    Pope Benedict XVI declared that he lived the virtues to a heroic degree. This is a judgment on his life alone, and it requires no miracle.

  3. Blessed24 September 2026

    Pope Francis approved a miracle in 2019, and the beatification was scheduled, then postponed at the request of the Diocese of Rochester, which he had once led. Pope Leo XIV authorized it again in February. He will be called Blessed from 24 September.

  4. Saintnot yet

    To be declared a saint, a second miracle must be approved: one granted through his intercession after he is beatified.

La prueba

Sesenta y un minutos sin pulso

James Fulton Engstrom was delivered stillborn at a home birth near Peoria on 16 September 2010, his umbilical cord knotted. For the sixty-one minutes he had no pulse, his parents prayed for the intercession of Sheen, for whom they had named him. His heart began to beat just as he was about to be pronounced dead. A seven-member Vatican medical panel found no natural explanation, and Pope Francis approved the miracle in July 2019.

Lo que confiere

Qué hace una beatificación

Beatification is not canonization. It permits him to be venerated publicly, and his feast to be kept, in the places the Holy See names rather than in the whole Church. The date of his feast is set by the decree, which has not yet been published.

El cuerpo

Volvió a casa por O'Hare

On 7 June 2019 the New York Court of Appeals refused the Archdiocese of New York a final appeal. Early on 27 June his body was taken from the crypt beneath the high altar of St. Patrick's Cathedral, flown from LaGuardia to Chicago O'Hare, and driven to Peoria the same day. His cause resumed on his arrival.
